Amlak

The federal government has cut struggling Islamic lender Amlak's debt burden by $1.1 billion, the UAE economy minister said on Tuesday, in the latest effort to revive the Dubai mortgage provider whose stock has been halted since 2008.

Emirates NBD, Dubai's largest bank by assets, could see its Tier 1 capital ratio fall by nearly 1.1 percentage points if it is forced to absorb embattled property lender Amlak Finance, HC Securities said on Sunday.
